I created this complex structure from a simple motif that consisted of a few straight lines, some curves and a couple of circles. The result is an edifice reminiscent of something grand like a castle, but one that has a slightly industrial quality. The opalescent white exterior evokes thoughts of pearly gates and the fact that it is floating somewhere above us just adds more mystery to the enigmatic structure. The title popped into my head as I was piecing the top and whenever the phrase floats across my consciousness, it has a lyrical lilt, just as it does in the Joni Mitchell song.
